Linnea Pergola

I am a painter and textile artist originally from Los Angeles.

I have a lifelong passion for bringing the beauty of nature to life through my work. Over the years my art has been sold internationally and publicly exhibited across the United States, Switzerland, Germany, Puerto Rico, Qatar and now South Africa. I paint intricate depictions of animals as well as cityscapes. I have worked with art publishers that have printed and distributed my work worldwide. I use many mediums but mostly watercolors, silk paintings and encaustics. I also work with Liberty Puzzles in Boulder, Colorado where they distribute my puzzles. (www.LibertyPuzzles.com).

We moved to South Africa May 2024 and just bought a house in Plettenberg Bay.
